  • Patent number: 4260154
    Abstract: A game is disclosed in which an inflatable ball is pushed along a playing surface past defensive players of a first team to a goal shooting area by offensive players of a second team. The players move the ball only by pushing the ball with the sides of their feet until they succeed in moving the ball into the goal shooting area. A goal including a circular ring having a diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the ball is mounted on a backboard and is positioned a predetermined height above the playing surface over an outside boundary of the goal shooting area. A designated offensive player of the second team assigned to the goal shooting area then shoots the ball by quickly lifting it with one or both feet, thereby attempting to propel it through the goal to score a field goal.
